Gaz comes across well. Nothing he has said sounds irrational in the slightest. The 'interview' is disappointingly short though, so hopefully a more, say, 'juicy video leak' will be on the horizon...  Do it Gaz!! |

Well that was a bit of a let down. So much for a hit back. More of a fart in his general direction...

new music could you give me some songtitles, alway in for discovering Most of the stuff I like is psychedelic/ambient/rock etc... A.M.T- Electric Psilocybin Flashback Bardo Pond- Datura Difficult naming individual songs, some of the albums I like are... Come With Us Dig Your Own Hole - Chemical Brothers Embryonic The Terror - Flaming Lips Organik - Robert Miles The Isness - Amorphous Androgynous ISDN - Future Sound of London Lapsed Set and Setting Ticket Crystals - Bardo Pond New Geocentric World of Acid Mothers Temple Crystal Rainbow Pyramid Under the Stars Penultimate Galactic Bordello Also The World You Made* - Acid Mothers Temple *(250 minute long album spread across four songs...) Yeah, sorry, I know you asked for songs, couldn't really do it... more of an album person... I've roughly put it in order of how weird the music is Are you Shpongled? |

This is all getting weird. If the AA could just for once, in simple words, describe in a chronologic way how the recording process went along and why exactly they think it would have been groundbreaking. I'm really interested in how the songs developed, sounded and were arranged. How should we as fans comprehend their position and why Noel abandoned it, if we have no idea what the album was like. They should just leak it. There, I said it. Hope we get to see the video they've recorded of the interview. This should be part of the bonus DVD we get with the deluxe album  |

I wish Noel had released it, just like I wish his Chemical Brothers type stuff would have been Be Here Now, so that Oasis released a Sgt. Peppers-type record instead of the flop that was BHN. He always seems to pull back just when he is about to do something radical. Maybe this will be his "Smile" now, with us wondering what might have been for a decade or two.

Apparently Brian from Amorphous Androgynous posted on his FB account, "Heres one me and gaz wrote with Paul Weller - turned out pretty good me thinks......" with a link to Paul Weller's new single. Private account so I can't post a link to it, but it was mentioned here ( fsolnews.blogspot.co.uk) and the FSOL forum. |

I trust Noel's word on this. Since when can we trust Noel on anything? - Heathen Chemistry up there with DM and MG. #whiff - Stop The Clocks one of the best songs he's ever written. #whiff - Record Machine sounds like Led Zeppelin doing The Beatles. #whiff - He thinks Dave Sardy is a good producer. #whiff |

I have to say I'm pretty unimpressed with Weller's new tune. Sure, the production is great, but the song is simply lacking substance. The riff is not very interesting, and neither are the melody and lyrics. Like some of the stuff I've heard from AA, it suffers from repetition and an obsession with sound and style over quality songwriting. A bit of a letdown after three amazing records in a row. I hope it is not representative of the rest of the album.
And I may be blind, but I'm pretty sure that guy is not Gem? Although he does look like him, I'll admit.

Yeah that's not Gem on bass, it's Andy Crofts. Been part of Weller's band since 22 Dreams I think and is in another band called The Moons.

The song has got a good groove and stuff, but it's pretty boring. Never been into Weller anyway.
This one sounds like Stereophonics You gotta go there to come back era.

I quite like Weller's new tune. I think it could easily fit on 22 Dreams or Wake Up The Nation.
At first though I thought he was lamenting giving up drinking and shouting "vodka!"rather than "white sky"...

I am also not sure if to trust Noel in this... All AA mixes that they did for Oasis and Noel are fine, and Noel talked about them in a nice way. Shoot a hole into the sun is actually quite amazing, and Noel used it even during his concerts and released it... There was also this time, when he said that the "bubble mix" cd change his way of thinking about music... He loved that. I don´t think that Noel´s AA Album would be that much different - not worst or better, just another AA thing. In my opinion he just chickened out when he realised, that he would put out his own songs, for the first time without his own conduction - before their official release in form defined by him. If you listen to Noel´s interviews, among other things he repeats over and over, there is one, that he repeats for 20 years already - that he´s the best songwriter, and others (like BE for example), are not. I believe, it was way too difficult for him to accept other musicians input into his own song´s structure. Because the song he writes is the best, why to change the structure? It is even visible on the way how he treated demos during years... remember SOTSOG? they had Spike Stent who worked with Bjork, but when the demos leaked, it was obvious, that the album sounds almost exactly the same, like the demos. maybe he really wanted to try something new, but when he realised that he would put away his own songs like that, he went back to his comfort zone...

He realised that the AA album wouldn't sell enough copies to allow him to keep drinking at the Chiltern Firehouse...

I'm pretty sure he's got enough money for that anyway If he'd toured that album though he would've bankrupted himself. The rider for the guest musicians would have been eye watering: - Two eighths of premium grade hashish per gig for Brian - Homemade hummous and freshly baked pitta bread for Gaz (no additives or colourings) - 7 packs of new sitar strings per gig, made ONLY from virgin unicorn hair. - 37 tubs of premium lubrication for the African choir's nose flutes. - 1 new drummer to be recruited per gig (to compensate for losses due to, for example, spontaneous human combustion) - a decompression chamber to be transported along with the tour bus to help any musicians recover from unplanned jazz trances .... The list goes on. |
